Is there any such thing as a decent Tory?
Or are the two things mutually exclusive?
Serious question. I can't think of a single Tory Minister who seems a decent person and their 'celebrity' followers are equally vile (think Jeremy Clarkson and Katie Hopkins).
The Tories I actually know are self interested people with little compassion or thought for anyone else but themselves.
So, is it possible to be Tory and decent?
Oh and please, don't so the usual Tory thing of attacking Labour thus avoiding answering the question, as that simply confirms the above hypothesis.

I get the impression that some conservatives would prefer to live in a country with lots of millionaires and lots of people in poverty than a country with no millionaires and no people in poverty (or they think the latter can't even exist).
I also think some of them focus almost entirely on the economy and forget about the actual people living in this country.
I don't think David Cameron and other conservatives are bad people (I think he genuinely is doing what he thinks is best for the country), they just have a different way of looking at the world, one that I personally disagree with.
I found the one about the Right being more objective insulting. Look where it got me. Both sides seem to be as bad as each other.
This kind of post just shows how thick a lot of Labour supporters are.
Oh the irony.
I have no idea which way my friends or acquaintances vote. I would never ask and people lie anyway. I think it's a private thing, so how do you know who is a Tory and who isn't?
What a pointless and nasty argument to try to whip up..
ever considered that you need to widen your circle of acquaintances?
Must do better next time.
How about David Cameron, George Osborne, Teresa May, Jeremy Hunt, Sajid Javid , William Hague... etc etc etc.
These are people who've taken very tough decisions. The country was nearly bankrupt.
Time and time again this government has done the decent thing when the easy thing to do was to ignore a problem and do nothing.
On this day when Labour are highlighting the NHS that it was the Tories who commissioned a proper inquiry into the goings on at Mid Staffs hospital. Labour just wanted the whole debacle forgotten.
Oh look, another "vile" Tory thread. Haven't had one of those for at least a week.
Labour supporters getting negative? They don't do that kind of thing!
To be anywhere near a socialist in this country, you have to think beyond the headlines, and many don't.
However, I do think there are many self-interested and nasty tories too. IDS being a prime example.
Now that is hilarious, are you being serious btw?
